Title of bill
An act to amend the tax law, in relation to authorizing the county of Nassau to elect to be exempt from certain taxes related to motor fuel and diesel motor fuel
Purpose
To reduce the amount of sales tax individuals pay in Nassau county for motor fuel.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 adds section 1115-a of the Tax Law to allow Nassau County to elect to eliminate its sales and use tax on motor fuel.
Section 2 establishes an effective date.
Justification
The past year has seen dramatic increases in the price of gasoline from roughly $2 per gallon to well over $3 per gallon. Because the price of gasoline is matched by a proportional increase in the sales tax, it is time to give something back to the consumer who is under greater stress due to increased prices. This bill would allow Nassau County, if it chooses, to drop its portion of the sales tax on gasoline.
